It's officially time to call it a day over here. Due to everything that has gone down over the past couple years and the forward progress I have made I think it is time to move on. Look forward. Don't look back. I have a couple of other blogs that I keep and I am still active on Twitter and other social media areas and if you would like to keep in touch please follow me over there. ...more

On September 9th 2012, it will have been a year since this happened and everything changed. --- The Cons 1. Everything isn't going to be OK. 2. Look around. See those great friends you have?

I started watching Breaking Bad a few weeks go and it's the most stressful show I've watched in a long time. I can only imagine what it would be like to watch it live and then have to wait a whole week to see what happens next but luckily for me I started four or five seasons behind so I am catching up I really enjoy it but it really is a hard slog. I don't have cable TV ...more

Over the course of the past year, my ex husband and I have been trying our best to maintain a positive relationship with each other, which is ...more

My life is full of love hearts right now which is why I haven't been blogging as much. Writing for me is often a thing that I find myself doing more frequently when I am feeling lonely or sad or depressed or bored which absolutely is not the case at the moment. I didn't think I'd be in this situation and be so lucky in finding someone so absolutely perfect for me. I can't believe it. I 've ...more
